“…Mandala painting therapy, developed by Carl Jung, the founder of the psychoanalytic school, refers to a non-verbal psychotherapy based on the principles of projection, expression, symbolism, sublimation and externalization, mediated by mandala painting tools, in which individuals paint mandalas in order to present the repressed content of their personality and subconscious and achieve catharsis, emotional improvement, trauma repair and personality integration in the process of painting ( Kostyunina and Drozdikova-Zaripova, 2016 ). It is a widely used form of psychological assessment and therapeutic drawing psychotherapy, which has the function of projecting the inner world and healing the mind through drawing, reducing psychological disorders and maintaining inner order ( Angellim et al, 2020 ). Mandala painting includes both structural and non-structural forms, structural mandalas where the painter colors in a pre-designed mandala pattern and non-structural mandalas where the painter paints freely within the required blank circle ( Lee and Kim, 2020 ).…”

Since the 21st century, art therapy has made great progress and development in China’s education. To find out the relationship between art therapy and special children, hundreds of related literatures were analyzed using co-word analysis software, which shows that art therapy is increasingly important in special children and their education. Expressive art therapy has a good development prospect in college students’ mental health education and group counseling. The connotation of group painting therapy is constantly enriched. The theme research of mandala painting therapy is closely related, and painting art therapy focuses on the psychological counseling research of different groups, but the two are still in the marginal position in the whole research, and have not been paid attention to. Therefore, in the future research, firstly, we should continue to strengthen the research of art therapy and expressive art therapy in special education and individual mental health education; second, further broaden the depth and breadth of group painting therapy; third, strengthen the study of mandala painting therapy and painting art therapy.

“…(3) Release emotion, fear, worry, tension, anxiety and stress: According to Cornell (1994), creating a mandala provides a "calming and relaxing effect on the mind and body" (p. 2). For example, a reduction in anxiety among pregnant women in their third trimester before delivery through mandala drawing and coloring (Amelia, Satiadarmma, & Wati, 2020), post-secondary and tertiary students in their undergraduate studies through mandala coloring (Angellim, Satiadarma, & Subroto, 2020;Noor et al, 2017);…”

Mandalas (in Sanskrit refers to “circle” or “discoid object”) have been exclusively a part of the Eastern religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, Jainism and Shintoism, for hundreds of years. They represent the different aspects of the universe. They are also used as sacred meditation tools as well as consecrated symbols of prayer, most notably in China, Japan, and Tibet. Only in recent years that mandalas have been found to promote the mental as well as physical well-being or wellness, especially for those who are experiencing stress, anxiety and depression (also known as SAD syndrome). They are eventually incorporated into art as therapy and counseling as part of the repertoire of intervention tools. Generally, mandala art therapy can be divided into three different forms: (i) mandala meditation, (ii) mandala drawing, and (iii) mandala coloring. Each of these forms is a therapeutic tool that serves to help a person to relax and be at peace with oneself. According to Jungian concept of a mandala, it refers to the psychological expression of the totality of the self, and hence, mandala art therapy in whichever of its three forms can help to establish the positive wholesomeness of self. In this paper, the authors have chosen to focus on mandala coloring as a therapeutic tool and introduced the simple five-step procedure to implement it.

“…With their origins in ancient traditions, mandalas are frequently circular patterns that radiate outward from a core, signifying spiritual unity, harmony, and balance. The turtle can be programmed to draw repetitive shapes, rotate at precise angles, and produce attractive symmetrical patterns using Python Turtle [2]. Through the deft combination of forward motions, rotations, and pen manipulations, you can create your own rare Mandalas that express both your creative sensibilities and the contemplative process involved in making them.…”

This work explores the use of Python Turtle graphics as a tool for designing art with programming concepts in creative ways. Turtle graphics is an easy and entertaining approach for learners to visualize and play with code in an artistic manner. The paper explains “Mandala Art Creator”; a Python program to generate a random or customized Mandala Art using the Turtle graphics module and its implementation in the textile industry. In Mandala Art Creator the user is prompted to provide their name and choose between two options: random configuration and personalized configuration. The computer’s algorithm determines colors and angles for the Mandala Art on its own in random mode. The user can customize the Mandala Art experience in custom mode by specifying colors and rotation degrees.
